BACKGROUND

Serine proteases make up the largest and most extensively studied group of proteolytic enzymes. Their critical roles in physiological processes extend over such diverse areas as blood coagulation, fibrinolysis, complement activation, reproduction, digestion, and the release of physiologically active peptides. Many of these vital processes begin with cleavage of a single peptide bond or a few peptide bonds in precursor protein or peptides. Sequential limited proteolytic reactions or cascades are involved in blood clotting, fibrinolysis, and complement activation. The biological signals to start these cascades can be controlled and amplified as well. Similarly, controlled proteolysis can shut down or inactivate proteins or peptides through single bond cleavages.

Kallikreins are a subgroup of serine proteases. In humans, plasma kallikrein (KLKBI) has no known homologue, while tissue kallikrein-related peptidases (KLKs) encode a family of fifteen closely related serine proteases. Plasma kallikrein participates in a number of pathways relating to the intrinsic pathway of coagulation, inflammation, and the complement system.

Coagulation is the process by which blood forms clots, for example to stop bleeding. The physiology of coagulation is somewhat complex insofar as it includes two separate initial pathways, which converge into a final common pathway leading to clot formation. In the final common pathway, prothrombin is converted into thrombin, which in turn converts fibrinogen into fibrin, the latter being the principal building block of cross-linked fibrin polymers which form a hemostatic plug. Of the two initial pathways upstream of the final common pathway, one is known as the contact activation or intrinsic pathway, and the other is known as the tissue factor or extrinsic pathway.

The intrinsic pathway begins with formation of a primary complex on collagen by high-molecular-weight kininogen (HMWK), prekallikrein, and FXII (Factor XII; Hageman factor). Prekallikrein is converted to kallikrein, and FXII is activated to become FXIIa. FXIIa then converts Factor XI (FXI) into FXIa, and FXIa in turn activates Factor IX (FIX), which with its co-factor FVIIIa form the “tenase” complex, which activates Factor X (FX) to FXa. It is FXa which is responsible for the conversion of prothrombin into thrombin within the final common pathway.

Prekallikrein, the inactive precursor of plasma kallikrein, is synthesized in the liver and circulates in the plasma bound to HMWK or as a free zymogen. Prekallikrein is cleaved by activated factor XII (FXIIa) to release activated plasma kallikrein (PK). Activated plasma kallikrein displays endopeptidase activity towards peptide bonds after arginine (preferred) and lysine. PK then generates additional FXIIa in a feedback loop which in turn activates factor XI (FXI) to FXIa to connect to the common pathway. Although the initial activation of the intrinsic pathway is through a small amount of FXIIa activating a small amount of PK, it is the subsequent feedback activation of FXII by PK that controls the extent of activation of the intrinsic pathway and hence downstream coagulation. Hathaway, W. E., et al. (1965) Blood 26:521-32.

Activated plasma kallikrein also cleaves HMWK to release the potent vasodilator peptide bradykinin. It is also able to cleave a number of inactive precursor proteins to generate active products, such as plasmin (from plasminogen) and urokinase (from prourokinase). Plasmin, a regulator of coagulation, proteolytically cleaves fibrin into fibrin degradation products that inhibit excessive fibrin formation.

Patients who have suffered acute myocardial infarction (MI) show clinical evidence of being in a hypercoagulable (clot-promoting) state. This hypercoagulability is paradoxically additionally aggravated in those receiving fibrinolytic therapy. Increased generation of thrombin, as measured by thrombin-antithrombin III (TAT) levels, is observed in patients undergoing such treatment compared to the already high levels observed in those receiving heparin alone. Hoffmeister, H. M. et al. (1998) Circulation 98:2527-33. The increase in thrombin has been proposed to result from plasmin-mediated activation of the intrinsic pathway by direct activation of FXII by plasmin.

Not only does the fibrinolysis-induced hypercoagulability lead to increased rates of reocclusion, but it is also probably responsible, at least in part, for failure to achieve complete fibrinolysis of the clot (thrombus), a major shortcoming of fibrinolytic therapy (Keeley, E. C. et al. (2003) Lancet 361: 13-20). Another problem in fibrinolytic therapy is the accompanying elevated risk of intracranial hemorrhage. Menon, V. et al. (2004) Chest 126:549S-575S; Fibrinolytic Therapy Trialists' Collaborative Group (1994) Lancet 343:311-22. Hence, an adjunctive anti-coagulant therapy that does not increase the risk of bleeding, but inhibits the formation of new thrombin, would be greatly beneficial.

Therefore, a need exists to develop inhibitors of PK that can tip the balance of fibrinolysis/thrombosis at the occluding thrombus toward dissolution, thereby promoting reperfusion and also attenuating the hypercoagulable state, thus preventing thrombus from reforming and reoccluding the vessel.

In certain aspects, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition, comprising a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

In certain aspects, the invention provides a method of treating or preventing a disease or condition characterized by unwanted plasma kallikrein activity. The method comprises the step of administering to a subject in need thereof a therapeutically effective amount of a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof, thereby treating or preventing the disease or condition characterized by unwanted plasma kallikrein activity. In one embodiment, the disease or condition characterized by unwanted plasma kallikrein activity is selected from the group consisting of stroke, inflammation, reperfusion injury, acute myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, post fibrinolytic treatment condition, angina, edema, angioedema, hereditary angioedema, sepsis, arthritis, hemorrhage, blood loss during cardiopulmonary bypass, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes mellitus, retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, diabetic macular degeneration, age-related macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, proliferative retinopathy, neuropathy, hypertension, brain edema, increased albumin excretion, macroalbuminuria, and nephropathy.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

Inhibitors of plasma kallikrein have been reported and are useful in therapeutic methods and compositions suitable for use in eliminating or reducing various forms of ischemia, including but not limited to perioperative blood loss, cerebral ischemia, the onset of systemic inflammatory response, and/or reperfusion injury, e.g., reperfusion injury associated with cerebral ischemia or a focal brain ischemia. Perioperative blood loss results from invasive surgical procedures that lead to contact activation of complement components and the coagulation/fibrinolysis systems. Kallikrein inhibitors can be used to reduce or prevent perioperative blood loss and a systemic inflammatory response in patients subjected to invasive surgical procedures, especially cardiothoracic surgeries. Kallikrein inhibitors can also be used to reduce or prevent cerebral ischemia and stroke, and/or reperfusion injury associated with cerebral ischemia. They can also prevent neurological and cognitive deficits associated with stroke, blood loss, and cerebral ischemia, e.g., events that are not associated with surgical intervention. Further examples of applications for kallikrein inhibitors include pediatric cardiac surgery, lung transplantation, total hip replacement, and orthotopic liver transplantation, to reduce or prevent stroke during these procedures, as well as to reduce or prevent stroke during coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).

Pharmaceutical Compositions

The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions, each comprising one or more compounds of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a compound of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. In certain embodiments, the pharmaceutical composition comprises a plurality of compounds of the invention and a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier.

In certain embodiments, a pharmaceutical composition of the invention further comprises at least one additional pharmaceutically active agent other than a compound of the invention. The at least one additional pharmaceutically active agent can be an agent useful in the treatment of a disease or condition characterized by unwanted plasma kallikrein activity. For example, the at least one additional pharmaceutically active agent can be an anticoagulation agent, an anti-platelet agent, or a thrombolytic agent.

Anticoagulation agents prevent the coagulation of blood components and thus prevent clot formation, for example in atrial fibrillation. Anticoagulants include, but are not limited to, heparin, warfarin, coumadin, dicumarol, phenprocoumon, acenocoumarol, ethyl biscoumacetate, hirudin, bivalarutin, direct thrombin inhibitors, and indandione derivatives.

Anti-platelet agents inhibit platelet aggregation and are often used to prevent thromboembolic stroke in patients who have experienced a transient ischemic attack, stroke, or atrial fibrillation. Anti-platelet agents include, but are not limited to, aspirin, thienopyridine derivatives such as ticlopodine and clopidogrel, dipyridamole, and sulfinpyrazone, as well as RGD mimetics.

Thrombolytic agents lyse clots that cause thromboembolic phenomena such as stroke, myocardial infarction, and pulmonary thromboembolism. Thrombolytic agents include, but are not limited to, plasminogen, a2-antiplasmin, streptokinase, antistreplase, TNK, tissue plasminogen activator (tPA), and urokinase. Tissue plasminogen activator includes native IPA and recombinant tPA, as well as modified forms of tPA that retain the enzymatic or fibrinolytic activities of native tPA.

Pharmaceutical compositions of the invention can be prepared by combining one or more compounds of the invention with a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier and, optionally, one or more additional pharmaceutically active agents.

In certain embodiments, the invention provides a pharmaceutical composition that is formulated for the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of disease or condition characterized by unwanted plasma kallikrein activity.

Methods of Use

The present invention provides compounds that inhibit the formation of thrombin via the intrinsic pathway and thus reduce the risk of new pathogenic thrombus formation (vessel occlusion or reocclusion) and also improve fibrinolytic-induced reperfusion when given as adjunctive therapy with a fibrinolytic regimen. Diseases and conditions that can be treated using the compounds of the present invention include, but are not limited to, stroke, inflammation, reperfusion injury, acute myocardial infarction, deep vein thrombosis, post fibrinolytic treatment condition, angina, edema, angioedema, hereditary angioedema, sepsis, arthritis, hemorrhage, blood loss during cardiopulmonary bypass, inflammatory bowel disease, diabetes mellitus, retinopathy, diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular edema, diabetic macular degeneration, age-related macular edema, age-related macular degeneration, proliferative retinopathy, neuropathy, hypertension, brain edema, increased albumin excretion, macroalbuminuria, and nephropathy.

For example, in patients with angioedema conditions, small polypeptide PK inhibitor DX-88 (ecallantide) alleviates edema in patients with hereditary angioedema (HAE). Williams, A. et al. (2003) Transfus. Apher. Sci. 29:255-8; Schneider, L. et al. (2007) J Allergy Clin Immunol. 120:416-22; and Levy, J. H. et al. (2006) Expert Opin. Invest. Drugs 15:1077-90. A bradykinin B2 receptor antagonist, Icatibant, is also effective in treating HAE. Bork, K. et al. (2007) J. Allergy Clin. Immunol. 119:1497-1503. Because plasma kallikrein generates bradykinin, inhibition of plasma kallikrein is expected to inhibit bradykinin production.

For example, in coagulation resulting from fibrinolytic treatment (e.g., treatment with tissue plasminogen activator or streptokinase), higher levels of plasma kallikrein are found in patients undergoing fibrinolysis. Hoffineister. H. M. et al. (1998) J. Cardiovasc. Pharmacol. 31:764-72. Plasmin-mediated activation of the intrinsic pathway has been shown to occur in plasma and blood and was markedly attenuated in plasma from individuals deficient in any of the intrinsic pathway components. Ewald, G. A. et al. (1995) Circulation 91:28-36.

Individuals who have had an acute MI were found to have elevated levels of activated plasma kallikrein and thrombin. Hoffmeister, H. M., et al. (1998) Circulation 98:2527-33.

DX-88 reduced brain edema, infarct volume, and neurological deficits in an animal model of ischemic stroke. Storini, C. et al. (2006). J. Pharm. Exp. Ther. 318:849-854. C1-inhibitor reduced infarct size in a mouse model of middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). De Simoni, M. G. et al. (2004) Am. J. Pathol. 164:1857-1863; and Akita, N. et al. (2003) Neurosurgery 52:395-400). B2 receptor antagonists were found to reduce the infarct volume, brain swelling, and neutrophil accumulation and were neuroprotective in an MCAO animal model. Zausinger, S. et al. (2003) Acta Neurochir Suppl. 86:205-7; Lumenta, D. B. et al. (2006) Brain Res. 1069:227-34; Ding-Zhou, L. et al. (2003) Br. J. Pharmacol. 139:1539-47.

Regarding blood loss during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB), it has been found that the kallikrein-kinin (i.e., contact) system is activated during CABG. Wachtfogel, Y. T. (1989) Blood 73:468. Activation of the contact system during CPB results in up to a 20-fold increase in plasma bradykinin. Cugno, M. et al. (2006) Chest 120:1776-82; and Campbell, D. J. et al. (2001) Am. J. Physiol. Reg. Integr. Comp. Photo. 281:1059-70.

Plasma kallikrein inhibitors P8720 and PKS1-527 have also been found to reduce joint swelling in rat models of arthritis. De La Cadena, R. A. et al. (1995) FASEB J. 9:446-52; Fujimori, Y. (1993) Agents Action 39:42-8. It has also been found that inflammation in animal models of arthritis was accompanied by activation of the contact system. Blais, C. Jr. et al. (1997) Arthritis Rheum. 40:1327-33.

Additionally, plasma kallikrein inhibitor P8720 has been found to reduce inflammation in an acute and chronic rat model of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Stadnicki, A. et al. (1998) FASEB J. 12:325-33; Stadnicki, A. et al. (1996) Dig. Dis. Sci. 41:912-20; and De La Cadena. R. A., et al. (1995) FASEB J. 9:446-52. The contact system is activated during acute and chronic intestinal inflammation. Sartor, R. B. et al. (1996) Gastroenterology 110:1467-81. It has been found that B2 receptor antagonist, an antibody to high molecular weight kininogen, or reduction in levels of kininogen reduced clinicopathology in animal models of IBD, Ibid.; Arai, Y. et al. (1999) Dig. Dis. Sc. 44:845-51; and Keith, J. C. et al. (2005) Arthritis Res. Therapy 7:R769-76.

H-D-Pro-Phe-Arg-chloromethylketone (CMK), an inhibitor of PK and FXII and a physiological inhibitor (C1-inhibitor), has been found to reduce vascular permeability in multiple organs and reduce lesions in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)- or bacterial-induced sepsis in animals. Liu, D. et al. (2005) Blood 105:2350-5; Persson, K. et al. (2000) J. Exp. Med. 192:1415-24. Clinical improvement was observed in sepsis patients treated with C1-inhibitor. Zeerleder, S. et al. (2003) Clin. Diagnast. Lab. Immunol. 10:529-35; Caliezi, C., et al. (2002) Crit. Care Med. 30:1722-8; and Marx, G. et al. (1999) Intensive Care Med. 25:1017-20. Fatal cases of septicemia are found to have a higher degree of contact activation. Martinez-Brotons, F. et al. (1987) Thromh. Haemast. 58:709-713; and Kalter, E. S. et al. (1985) J. Inject. Dis. 151:1019-27.

It has also been found that prePK levels are higher in diabetics, especially those with proliferative retinopathy, and correlate with fructosamine levels. Gao, B.-B., et al. (2007) Nature Med. 13:181-8; and Kedzierska, K. et al. (2005) Archives Med. Res. 36:539-43. PrePK is also found to be highest in those with a sensorimotor neuropathy. Christie, M. et al. (1984) Thromb. Haemostas. (Stuttgart) 52:221-3. PrePK levels are elevated in diabetics and are associated with increased blood pressure. PrePK levels independently correlate with the albumin excretion rate and are elevated in diabetics with macroalbuminuria, suggesting prePK may be a marker for progressive nephropathy. Jaffa. A. A. et al. (2003) Diabetes 52:1215-21. B1 receptor antagonists have been found to decrease plasma leakage in rats treated with streptozotocin. Lawson, S. R. et al. (2005) Eur. J. Pharmacol. 514:69-78. B1 receptor antagonists can also prevent streptozotocin-treated mice from developing hyperglycemia and renal dysfunction. Zuccollo, A. et al. (1996) Can. J. Physiol. Pharmacol. 74:586-9.

Formulations, Routes of Administration, and Dosing

The compounds of the invention can be formulated as pharmaceutical compositions and administered to a mammalian host, such as a human patient, in a variety of forms adapted to the chosen route of administration, e.g., orally or parenterally, by intravenous, intraperitoneal, intramuscular, topical, or subcutaneous routes. Additional routes of administration are also contemplated by the invention.

Thus, the present compounds may be systemically administered, e.g., orally, in combination with a pharmaceutically acceptable vehicle such as an inert diluent or an assimilable edible carrier. They may be enclosed in hard or soft shell gelatin capsules, may be compressed into tablets, or may be incorporated directly with the food of the patient's diet. For oral therapeutic administration, the active compound may be combined with one or more excipients and used in the form of ingestible tablets, buccal tablets, troches, capsules, elixirs, suspensions, syrups, wafers, and the like. Such compositions and preparations should contain at least 0.1% of active compound. The percentage of the compositions and preparations may, of course, be varied and may conveniently be between about 2% to about 60% of the weight of a given unit dosage form. The amount of active compound in such therapeutically useful compositions is such that an effective dosage level will be obtained.

The tablets, troches, pills, capsules, and the like may also contain the following diluents and carriers: binders such as gum tragacanth, acacia, corn starch or gelatin; excipients such as dicalcium phosphate; a disintegrating agent such as corn starch, potato starch, alginic acid and the like; a lubricant such as magnesium stearate; and a sweetening agent such as sucrose, fructose, lactose or aspartame or a flavoring agent such as peppermint, oil of wintergreen, or cherry flavoring may be added. When the unit dosage form is a capsule, it may contain, in addition to materials of the above type, a liquid carrier, such as a vegetable oil or a polyethylene glycol. Various other materials may be present as coatings or to otherwise modify the physical form of the solid unit dosage form. For instance, tablets, pills, or capsules may be coated with gelatin, wax, shellac or sugar and the like. A syrup or elixir may contain the active compound, sucrose or fructose as a sweetening agent, methyl and propylparabens as preservatives, a dye and flavoring such as cherry or orange flavor. Of course, any material used in preparing any unit dosage form should be pharmaceutically acceptable and substantially non-toxic in the amounts employed. In addition, the active compound may be incorporated into sustained-release preparations and devices.

The active compound may also be administered intravenously or intraperitoneally by infusion or injection. Solutions of the active compound or its salts can be prepared in water or physiologically acceptable aqueous solution, optionally mixed with a nontoxic surfactant. Dispersions can also be prepared in glycerol, liquid polyethylene glycols, triacetin, and mixtures thereof and in oils. Under ordinary conditions of storage and use, these preparations contain a preservative to prevent the growth of microorganisms.

The pharmaceutical dosage forms suitable for injection or infusion can include sterile aqueous solutions or dispersions or sterile powders comprising the active ingredient which are adapted for the extemporaneous preparation of sterile injectable or infusible solutions or dispersions, optionally encapsulated in liposomes. In all cases, the ultimate dosage form should be sterile, fluid and stable under the conditions of manufacture and storage. The liquid carrier or vehicle can be a solvent or liquid dispersion medium comprising, for example, water, ethanol, a polyol (for example, glycerol, propylene glycol, liquid polyethylene glycols, and the like), vegetable oils, nontoxic glyceryl esters, and suitable mixtures thereof. The proper fluidity can be maintained, for example, by the formation of liposomes, by the maintenance of the required particle size in the case of dispersions or by the use of surfactants. The prevention of the action of microorganisms can be brought about by various antibacterial and antifungal agents, for example, parabens, chlorobutanol, phenol, sorbic acid, thimerosal, and the like. In many cases, it will be preferable to include isotonic agents, for example, sugars, buffers or sodium chloride. Prolonged absorption of the injectable compositions can be brought about by the use in the compositions of agents delaying absorption, for example, aluminum monostearate and gelatin.

Sterile injectable solutions are prepared by incorporating the active compound in the required amount in the appropriate solvent with various of the other ingredients enumerated above, as required, followed by filter sterilization. In the case of sterile powders for the preparation of sterile injectable solutions, methods of preparation can include vacuum drying and the freeze drying techniques, which yield a powder of the active ingredient plus any additional desired ingredient present in the previously sterile-filtered solutions.

For topical administration, the present compounds may be applied in pure form, i.e., when they are liquids. However, it will generally be desirable to administer them to the skin as compositions or formulations, in combination with a dermatologically acceptable carrier, which may be a solid or a liquid.

Useful solid carriers include finely divided solids such as talc, clay, microcrystalline cellulose, silica, alumina and the like. Useful liquid carriers include water, alcohols or glycols or water-alcohol/glycol blends, in which the present compounds can be dissolved or dispersed at effective levels, optionally with the aid of non-toxic surfactants. Adjuvants such as fragrances and additional antimicrobial agents can be added to optimize the properties for a given use. The resultant liquid compositions can be applied from absorbent pads, used to impregnate bandages and other dressings, or sprayed onto the affected area using pump-type or aerosol sprayers.

Thickeners such as synthetic polymers, fatty acids, fatty acid salts and esters, fatty alcohols, modified celluloses or modified mineral materials can also be employed with liquid carriers to form spreadable pastes, gels, ointments, soaps, and the like, for application directly to the skin of the user.

Examples of useful dermatological compositions which can be used to deliver the compounds of the invention to the skin are known in the art; for example, see Jacquet et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,608,392; incorporated herein by reference), Geria (U.S. Pat. No. 4,992,478; incorporated herein by reference), Smith et al. (U.S. Pat. No. 4,559,157; incorporated herein by reference), and Wortzman (U.S. Pat. No. 4,820,508; incorporated herein by reference).

Useful dosages of the compounds of the invention can be determined, at least initially, by comparing their in vitro activity and in vivo activity in animal models. Methods for the extrapolation of effective dosages in mice, and other animals, to humans are known in the art; for example, see U.S. Pat. No. 4,938,949 (incorporated herein by reference).

The amount of the compound, or an active salt thereof, required for use in treatment will vary not only with the particular compound or salt selected but also with the route of administration, the nature of the condition being treated, and the age and condition of the patient and will be ultimately at the discretion of the attendant physician or clinician.

In general, however, a suitable dose will be in the range of from about 0.5 to about 100 mg/kg body weight of the recipient per day, e.g., from about 3 to about 90 mg/kg of body weight per day, from about 6 to about 75 mg per kilogram of body weight per day, from about of 10 to about 60 mg/kg of body weight per day, or from about 15 to about 50 mg/kg of body weight per day.

Compounds of the invention can be conveniently formulated in unit dosage form; for example, containing 5 to 1000 mg, 10 to 750 mg, or 50 to 500 mg of active ingredient per unit dosage form. In one embodiment, the invention provides a composition comprising a compound of the invention formulated in such a unit dosage form. The desired dose may conveniently be presented in a single dose or as divided doses to be administered at appropriate intervals, for example, as two, three, four or more sub-doses per day. The sub-dose itself may be further divided, e.g., into a number of discrete loosely spaced administrations.

Compounds of the invention can also be administered in combination with other therapeutic agents, for example, other agents that are useful for treating or preventing ischemia, blood loss, or reperfusion injury.

Other delivery systems can include time-release, delayed release, or sustained release delivery systems such as are well-known in the art. Such systems can avoid repeated administrations of the active compound, increasing convenience to the subject and the physician. Many types of release delivery systems are available and known to those of ordinary skill in the art. Use of a long-term sustained release implant may be desirable. Long-term release, as used herein, means that the delivery system or is implant constructed and arranged to deliver therapeutic levels of the active ingredient for at least 30 days, and preferably 60 days.

In certain embodiments, a compound of the invention is formulated for intraocular administration, for example direct injection or insertion within or in association with an intraocular medical device.

The compounds of the invention may be formulated for depositing into a medical device, which may include any of a variety of conventional grafts, stents, including stent grafts, catheters, balloons, baskets, or other device that can be deployed or permanently implanted within a body lumen. As a particular example, it would be desirable to have devices and methods which can deliver compounds of the invention to the region of a body which has been treated by interventional technique.

In exemplary embodiment, a compound of the invention may be deposited within a medical device, such as a stein, and delivered to the treatment site for treatment of a portion of the body.

Stents have been used as delivery vehicles for therapeutic agents (i.e., drugs). Intravascular stents are generally permanently implanted in coronary or peripheral vessels. Stent designs include those of U.S. Pat. No. 4,733,655 (Palmaz), U.S. Pat. No. 4,800,882 (Gianturco), or U.S. Pat. No. 4,886,062 (Wiktor). Such designs include both metal and polymeric stents, as well as self-expanding and balloon-expandable stems. Stents may also be used to deliver a drug at the site of contact with the vasculature, as disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,102,417 (Palmaz), U.S. Pat. No. 5,419,760 (Narciso, Jr.), U.S. Pat. No. 5,429,634 (Narciso, Jr.), and in International Patent Application Nos. WO 91/12779 (Medtronic, Inc.) and WO 90/13332 (Cedars-Sanai Medical Center), for example.

The term “deposited” means that the compound is coated, adsorbed, placed, or otherwise incorporated into the device by methods known in the art. For example, the compound may be embedded and released from within (“matrix type”) or surrounded by and released through (“reservoir type”) polymer materials that coat or span the medical device. In the latter example, the compound may be entrapped within the polymer materials or coupled to the polymer materials using one or more the techniques for generating such materials known in the art. In other formulations, the compound may be linked to the surface of the medical device without the need for a coating, for example by means of detachable bonds, and release with time or can be removed by active mechanical or chemical processes. In other formulations, the compound may be in a permanently immobilized form that presents the compound at the implantation site.

In certain embodiments, the compound may be incorporated with polymer compositions during the formation of biocompatible coatings for medical devices, such as scents. The coatings produced from these components are typically homogeneous and are useful for coating a number of devices designed for implantation.

The polymer may be either a biostable or a bioabsorbable polymer depending on the desired rate of release or the desired degree of polymer stability, but frequently a bioabsorbable polymer is preferred for this embodiment since, unlike a biostable polymer, it will not be present long after implantation to cause any adverse, chronic local response. Bioabsorbable polymers that could be used include, but are not limited to, poly(L-lactic acid), polycaprolactone, polyglycolide (PGA), poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLLA/PGA), poly(hydroxybutyrate), poly(hydroxybutyrate-co-valerate), polydioxanone, polyorthoester, polyanhydride, poly(glycolic acid), poly(D-lactic acid), poly(L-lactic acid), poly(D, L-lactic acid), poly(D, L-lactide) (PLA), poly (L-lactide) (PLLA), poly(glycolic acid-co-trimethylene carbonate) (PGA/PTMC), polyethylene oxide (PEO), polydioxanone (PDS), polyphosphoester, polyphosphoester urethane, poly(amino acids), cyanoacrylates, poly(trimethylene carbonate), poly(iminocarbonate), copoly(ether-esters) (e.g., PEO/PLA), polyalkylene oxalates, polyphosphazenes and biomolecules such as fibrin, fibrinogen, cellulose, starch, collagen and hyaluronic acid, polyepsilon caprolactone, polyhydroxy butyric acid, polyorthoesters, polyacetals, polydihydropyrans, polycyanoacrylates, cross linked or amphipathic block copolymers of hydrogels, and other suitable bioabsorbable poplymers known in the art. Also, biostable polymers with a relatively low chronic tissue response such as polyurethanes, silicones, and polyesters could be used, and other polymers could also be used if they can be dissolved and cured or polymerized on the medical device such as polyolefins, polyisobutylene and ethylene-alphaolefin copolymers; acrylic polymers and copolymers, vinyl halide polymers and copolymers, such as polyvinyl chloride; polyvinylpyrrolidone; polyvinyl ethers, such as polyvinyl methyl ether; polyvinylidene halides, such as polyvinylidene fluoride and polyvinylidene chloride; polyacrylonitrile, polyvinyl ketones; polyvinyl aromatics, such as polystyrene, polyvinyl esters, such as polyvinyl acetate; copolymers of vinyl monomers with each other and olefins, such as ethylene-methyl methacrylate copolymers, acrylonitrile-styrene copolymers, ABS resins, and ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymers; pyran copolymer; polyhydroxy-propyl-methacrylamide-phenol; polyhydroxyethyl-aspartamide-phenol; polyethyleneoxide-polylysine substituted with palmitoyl residues; polyamides, such as Nylon 66 and polycaprolactam; alkyd resins, polycarbonates; polyoxymethylenes; polyimides; polyethers; epoxy resins, polyurethanes; rayon; rayon-triacetate; cellulose, cellulose acetate, cellulose butyrate; cellulose acetate butyrate; cellophane; cellulose nitrate; cellulose propionate; cellulose ethers; and carboxymethyl cellulose.

Polymers and semipermeable polymer matrices may be formed into shaped articles, such as valves, stems, tubing, prostheses and the like.

In certain embodiments of the invention, the compound of the invention is coupled to a polymer or semipermeable polymer matrix that is formed as a stem or stent-graft device.

Typically, polymers are applied to the surface of an implantable device by spin coating, dipping, or spraying. Additional methods known in the art can also be utilized for this purpose. Methods of spraying include traditional methods as well as microdeposition techniques with an inkjet type of dispenser. Additionally, a polymer can be deposited on an implantable device using photo-patterning to place the polymer on only specific portions of the device. This coating of the device provides a uniform layer around the device which allows for improved diffusion of various analytes through the device coating.

In certain embodiments of the invention, the compound is formulated for release from the polymer coating into the environment in which the medical device is placed. Preferably, the compound is released in a controlled manner over an extended time frame (e.g., months) using at least one of several well-known techniques involving polymer carriers or layers to control elution. Some of these techniques are described in U.S. Patent Application 2004/0243225A1, the entire disclosure of which is incorporated herein in its entirety.

Moreover, as described for example in U.S. Pat. No. 6,770,729, which is incorporated herein in its entirety, the reagents and reaction conditions of the polymer compositions can be manipulated so that the release of the compound from the polymer coating can be controlled. For example, the diffusion coefficient of the one or more polymer coatings can be modulated to control the release of the compound from the polymer coating. In a variation on this theme, the diffusion coefficient of the one or more polymer coatings can be controlled to modulate the ability of an analyte that is present in the environment in which the medical device is placed (e.g. an analyte that facilitates the breakdown or hydrolysis of some portion of the polymer) to access one or more components within the polymer composition (and for example, thereby modulate the release of the compound from the polymer coating). Yet another embodiment of the invention includes a device having a plurality of polymer coatings, each having a plurality of diffusion coefficients. In such embodiments of the invention, the release of the compound from the polymer coating can be modulated by the plurality of polymer coatings.

In yet another embodiment of the invention, the release of the compound from the polymer coating is controlled by modulating one or more of the properties of the polymer composition, such as the presence of one or more endogenous or exogenous compounds, or alternatively, the pH of the polymer composition. For example, certain polymer compositions can be designed to release a compound in response to a decrease in the pH of the polymer composition.

Kits

The invention also provides a kit, comprising a compound of the invention, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: at least one other therapeutic agent, packaging material, and instructions for administering the compound of the invention or the pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof and the other therapeutic agent or agents to a mammal to treat or prevent ischemia, blood loss, or reperfusion injury in the mammal. In one embodiment, the mammal is a human.
